The Next Turn - skiing, ski racing and sport

This week The Next Turn is joined by Loïc Meillard, the Swiss athlete who has spent nine years on the World Cup circuit and has stood on the podium in three separate disciplines. In this episode Meillard talks about his training regimen, discussing the balance between pushing his limits and knowing when to rest, his ability to pivot between disciplines, and the lessons he’s learned from years of competition. Additionally, he looks forward to the remainder of the season, sharing his objectives and tactical adjustments for second runs, giving insight into what the Swiss coaches might be doing that other nationalities might not be. Meillard explains the importance of both family and coaches to his success as an athlete, and overall, offers a unique perspective on the complexities of high-level individual competition. As always, hosts Martin, Cara and Jeff share their “SWIX Thoughts of the Day.”
